What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,000 for 108 sqm, the asking price is €343/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition I estimate about €700/sqm of works, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,043/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €353/sqm for Piemonte townhouses. Good extras like garage, cellar and panoramic view help, but this is still weak value unless the renovation can be done far below typical costs.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine old-village charm: a historic Piedmont lane, big eaves, stone-roof character and a pleasant green hill view from the upper level. It is a real house rather than a shell, with roof, floors, rooms and a garage, but the interiors are tired and dated and would need a proper renovation before it feels beautiful to live in. At €37k for 108 sqm, the price helps the dream, though the wow is more potential than present polish.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €38,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster sits in the lower Valle Bronda at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the larger Monviso massif and the upper Po valley landscape close to the west. The Bronda stream runs through this small valley and joins the Po near Saluzzo. The area is within the buffer of the Monviso UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the Parco del Monviso begins farther up the mountain valleys to the west. The nearest substantial town is Saluzzo, which has a preserved historic centre, a hilltop old town and the Marchesato castle complex. This part of the Saluzzo area is known for fruit growing, especially orchards on the plain and lower slopes.
